No, a racist statement would be "this person is a scammer because they're from India" (though technically still not racist, because India is a nation, not a race).

The majority of all scams world-wide originate in India and the income generated through these are a significant part of India's GDP, so their statement is very much understandable.

I certainly doubt it's truth though. It's probably just the usual incompetence in public office.

I need to see some real source on GDP bit. You realise this is the 5th largest economy in the world right now? If scamming Americans was that lucrative and easy then some country in South America or Mexico would be one of the larger economies in the world rather than India, because of cultural and geographic proximity. If scamming Americans was that easy, the largest source of the scams would be local. Also I don’t think economists account for the proceeds from criminal activities into GDP calculations. Even if it is in some way, crime GDP would definitely be underaccounted.

Also state support to criminal organisations would have been highlighted in intelligence reports by now and would be a major topic of diplomatic interactions. As the government is pretty incompetent it would be impossible to keep it a secret.

Your and the other dude’s assertions seem paranoid and irrational. You’re probably just a racist.

>these are a significant part of India's GDP

India's GDP is 3.5 trillion dollar while the most pessimistic (or optimistic if you like) amount of money involved in tech scams is $7.5 million.

It's much less than a rounding error but probably garbage comments like this is good to vent your frustration about getting laid off and replaced by some indian programmer

That’s bullshit and you claim has no data. Which what I call targeting an entire class of nation & people. Yes - you’re racist and bigoted.
